The birth rate is not too high, population is able to use birth control. The death rate is low because a big chunk of the population is young and the birth rate has decreased, or is in a low point. Net migration rate in Morocco is negative which demonstrate that life in neighboring countries might be better. The infant mortality is high because many people don't have access to hospitals and lack of sanitation sometimes brings diseases. The population growth rate is normal and it is slowly growing because more people are reproducing now. Life expectancy is normal and for females it is quite high, which indicated good programs and institutions for old people. The doubling time is quite long because the population growth rate is low too.
